Thread: A Little Hope in the World

Rainbows are for children to have some hope.
It is news and going viral, so I don't see why some people have issues with me making a thread on something I think is pretty awesome!
It amazes me that people who are apparently mods here, have a hard time with accepting people's thoughts and ideas on a thread.

Here we go again. It's not only what you think. This is a forum where people "heartily" exchange opinions. But you dont, when challenged on your I, I, me, me, posts you get angry and begin to lose your cool.

If I say you should think about growing up and think about what can you do in these hard times rather than post rainbows, in general you will become shocked and indignant.

Tell ya one thing MM is giving Toots a run for his money in posting speed. She has 30+ posts in 2 hours this morning. A whole new meaning to quantity over quality.. It's the middle of the night in the Toronto area as well.

That or she's just doing a fantabulous setup for the playing that old classic Rainbow clip...






Get yer twangers out and don't forget ta play with yer balls.

Haha, nice. Well partly that yes, but also that it is sweet to see this rainbow of hope going viral. I'm only posting news articles and pics of rainbows both around the world and the one I did with my niece. Not sure why people always have issues with things I post.

I think it's therapy for MM. She's posted 32 posts in just over 2 hours so hopefully she'll feel better soon.

^^That reminded me of this.. love this song. Sorry guys, I teach kids okay. I have to be like a kid sometimes to relate.

Now this rainbow makes me feel good. Long live Rock and Roll!

Agreed, when my loved ones are laying on a makeshift bed, wheezing and dying because of a lack of ventilators, some fucking chalk colour rainbows drawn by some retard aint gonna make me feel better.

^^Hey, you are allowed your opinion. It has gone viral around the world, I think it is very sweet and it gives kid's some hope. To each their own, if you don't like it don't read it or make rainbows. Chitty made some great ones with his kids.

Well, thanks you for allowing me to have an opinion!

Well, so has the Corona Virus and that's not working out so well.

it gives kid's some hope
'Kids' don't need hope ... the Parents do

Chitty made some great ones with his kids
Chitty is fallen into the trap of pushing his insecurities onto his kids.

IMHO


My Kids? ... they are getting busy for Easter and subtly asked why the Easter Bunny doesn't leave the eggs in the Garden and not just the Lounge-Room

hospitals, nurses and ventilators give me hope. Not rained and unicorns

My third graders just make memes about COVID-19. Certainly cheeky, some pretty damn funny, but not really heartwarming.

It’s “viral” in Montreal pre-school. That’s all that matters.

Children have a short attention span. They need to be entertained. Millions of grown ups don’t understand the issue. How do rainbows help educate tiny minds?

A few kids might be bright enough to understand a global pandemic, if it is explained to them in simple terms they might understand. Drawing rainbows is nothing to do with hope. It’s about keeping their young minds occupied with harmless nonsense.
